If you expect human beings (yourself, or possibly even the user) to edit
the text file, then you should look at a human-writable format like these:
Good ol' fashioned Windows INI files:
import configparser
JSON: import json
PLIST: import plistlib
YAML: download from http://pyyaml.org/wiki/PyYAML
If the ability to edit the files isn't important, then I suggest using
the pickle module instead.
